Gop's Gallagher Files For Governor's Race

July 3, 1985|By United Press International

TALLAHASSEE — Eleven-year House veteran Tom Gallagher, R-Coconut Grove, filed campaign finance forms Tuesday with the state elections office, the first official sign he has joined the race for Gov. Bob Graham's job.

He is the fourth GOP member to submit start-up campaign forms for the 1986 race. Seven Democrats and one Independent have filed similar forms.

State law prohibits Graham from seeking a third four-year term. He is expected to challenge U.S. Sen. Paula Hawkins, R-Winter Park, for her job next year.
